Funky Monkey Snacks Review and Giveaway!

Funky Monkey Snacks Review

By Candace on May 28, 2010

Are you tired of buying snacks for your kids to find out the “healthy” stuff is still filled with sugar and added junk? Me too! Funky Monkey Snacks has come up with a fruit snack that doesn’t add anything, its just freeze dried fruit that crunches!

From the site:

About Funky Monkey^® Snacks:

Funky Monkey® Snacks are all-natural, real fruit made using a proprietary freeze-drying process that creates Fruit That Crunches!® while retaining fruit’s natural goodness. Each ounce of Funky Monkey contains three servings of fruit, providing a ‘good for you’ snack that is delicious, healthy, and convenient.

Funky Monkey Snacks, made from 100% fruit, are gluten-free, wheat-free, dairy-free, peanut and tree nut-free, and contain no added sugars, colors, flavors or preservatives. Delivering the taste and nutrition of fresh fruit that’s always in season, Funky Monkey is available in seven flavor varieties, including Applemon™, Bananamon®, Carnaval Mix™, JiveALime®, MangOJ™, Pink Pineapple™ and Purple Funk®.

Funky Monkey Snacks sent us a package of each flavor. They are easy open. Clear favorites were Bananamon and Applemon. I love dried apple as snacks anyway and this was good. My older kids really loved the apple. Aiden liked all of them. They taste great and are easy to pack. As a mom I am glad they have some fiber!

My only real negative is that the thicker slices are hard to chew, especially for the younger crowd but my husband also mentioned that it was hard to chew. My advice would be to cut the fruit pieces thin uniformly and don’t leave thick slices. I was not a fan of the lime varieties but I know there probably are some fans. I would skip that flavor and do melons and berries. Overall I like them and I would buy them in the store for my kids. They liked them a lot!

Buy It: Funky Monkey Snacks are sold nationwide at major retailers and online at Amazon.com.

Win it! Funkey Monkey Snacks is giving away a case of Funky Monkey Snacks(7 packs) and a T-Shirt!

FUNKY MONKEY SNACKS WANT YOU TO KNOW THEY ARE HITTING THE ROAD!

Three Custom Vehicles Will Deliver Samples and Entertainment During the ‘Funky See, Funky Do’ Tour

Residents of the New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles areas are about to go bananas for the newest, healthy treat to hit the market: Funky Monkey Snacks. The popular snack made of freeze-dried fruit will arrive in style this summer via brightly-colored Funky Monkey Mobiles beginning May 13.

The “Funky See, Funky Do” tour will take place from mid-May through the end of September, making dozens of scheduled appearances in each city, including stops at well-attended festivals, events and attractions. In addition to 700,000 free samples, the mobile tour team will also be handing out temporary tattoos, magnets and other fun giveaways. The energetic Tour Team will also be leading rounds of Funky See, Funky Do competitions, a game similar to the classic pastime for children, Simon Says.

“As consumer demand for tasty, nutritious and convenient snacks grows, so does the desire for a product like ours,” said Matt Herzog, president of Funky Monkey Snacks. “We’re thrilled to hand-deliver our snacks so people can personally experience Funky Monkey. And we’re adding our signature fun to the mix with games and prizes because we want to demonstrate that smart snacking can and should be part of an active and healthy lifestyle.”

For up to date information and images from each city, become a fan of Funky Monkey Snacks on Facebook and on Twitter (@FunkyMonkeySnck, @FunkyMonkeyNYC, @ FunkyMonkeyLA, @FunkyMonkeySF), or visit the website, www.FunkyMonkeySnacks.com.
